I'm getting my hair chopped off for charity

Yes, you read correctly. On August 12, I will be getting my hair chopped to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. The event is being held at Colasanti's Tropical Gardens in Ruthven.

Email, or leave a comment, if you'd like to make a pledge.

I'll post pics (before, during, after) next week.

Stay tuned

Bandit gets her stitches out and Harry Potter


Bandit got her stitches out. As soon as the fur grows back, you'll never know that she was ever injured.

In other news, the last Harry Potter book arrived at 9:45 on Saturday morning. Yes, I've already finished it.

Bandit got into her first fight... and lost

Bandit and the dog next door got into a little fight on Friday night. I think Bandit must have been guarding her toy. Before Bandit knew what hit her, Sheba (The dog next door, twice her size) defended herself, and sank her teeth into Bandit's face. One of the teeth sank right through Bandit's cheek, the other went above Bandit's eye...missed by about an inch or so.

You can't see the stitches above her eye in this picture, but there's a couple there. I had just brought her home from the vet when this pic was taken, and she was still pretty groggr. I had to go to the emergency vet, which of course jacks up their prices. They had to put Bandit out to shave her and put in the stitches. Over $400 bucks, and I still ahve to get the stitches taken out...

I just found a new comic..... Unshelved. It's kinda quirky. I like it.

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!

Kristen and Allan's Wedding - the sequel (This time, it's LEGAL)

Kristen and Allan renewed their vows this past Saturday, and finally were able to make legal the church-sanctioned ceremony held over four years ago. Allan's son, Jason, and I reprised our roles as Best Man and Maid-of-Honour, respectively, to sign the marraige license. Hmmm, I wonder what would have happened if at the last minute, either of us had refused...... nah that wouldn't have happened.

It was short ceremony, followed by a wonderful dinner at a restaurant in Fonthill.

Pictures are here in my Facebook site. For those of you who don't have Facebook, click here. Enjoy!

TTFN,

I'm only posting because Kristen is nagging me!!! :P

As some of you may, or may not, have heard, Greg and I broke up. Turns out he only used me to get free tuition to finish his degree, and then dumped me after having a months-long affair with a chick he met on the internet (and I just thought he was cruising for porn, like normal guys, silly me). As you can tell, I'm still in the "angry, men suck" stage of the recovery process.

In other news, the 16th International Workshop on Matrices and Statistics starts this coming Friday. If I manage not to kill anyone (They know who they are.), or have any type of complete meltdown, I'll be really surprised. Stay tuned.

(There Kristen, happy, now ;) )

TTFN,

HAPPY EASTER!!!

The ultimate gadget!!

I'm surprised it took so long, but the rimroller has finally arrived!!!

What is a "rimroller", you ask? For those of you who are fans of Tim Hortons "Roll up the Rim to Win" contests, this gadget rolls the rim of the cup up for you!

It really works! Greg ordered me one. I came home for lunch today, and he's all excited because it had finally arrived. I took my time, going downstairs to get something to nuke, and putting it in the microwave. Greg was doing his 'excited dance', getting more impatient because I didn't rush over to the coffee table to look (I'm SO evil that way.). I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it.

Lee Valley admits that its not their usual thing to sell, but it was such a great Canadian product, they decided to distribute it. You'd think Timmy's would be selling them at their stores (at about $5 each).

If you order one, better order a bunch of other stuff. Shipping was almost 8 bucks!

TTFN,

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007!!!

Hope it's a good one!!!
